What will drive the direction of local government during the next decade and beyond? Where will the “next cities”—those places that possess the characteristics and attributes to attract talented individuals—be located? What implications do the global issues we read about every day (technology, climate change, and demographics) hold for communities and the people who serve and lead them?

Look into the future of local government with ICMA Executive Director Bob O’Neill and a panel of local government experts that includes representatives from the Alliance for Innovation (AFI). This live, 90-minute Leading Ideas Series webcast was developed with students, interns, management fellows, and early-career professionals in mind. Presenters will focus on the future drivers of local government and their impact on our communities’ future leaders. You can also watch the recorded webcast at icma.org/nbt.
